College Football Picks

After a disappointing 2-4 weekend, my record has fallen to 22-23, so it's time to get back above .500. On the bright side, I did jinx Iowa last weekend by picking them for the first time all season. Here are my picks for this weekend's games:

Friday 8:00 PM - ESPN2
#25 West Virginia Mountaineers @ #5 Cincinnati Bearcats
Cincy has yet to be tested, and that's why they're undefeated yet still stuck at 5th. I can't tell if their 47-45 win over UConn was them nearly being exposed, or if it'll act as a wake-up call. I think WVU takes this game and relieves a lot of BCS execs.

Prediction:
WVU 28, Cincinnati 24



Saturday 3:30 PM - ABC
#10 Iowa Hawkeyes @ #11 Ohio State Buckeyes
OSU is in the driver's seat of the Big Ten, which tells you how much of a 2nd tier conference it truly is. I don't think Iowa is in the same league as a team like Ohio State, and I'll probably insure their victory by picking OSU.

OSU 35, Iowa 21



Saturday 3:30 PM - CBS
#1 Florida Gators @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Both Bama and UFA are going to the SEC title game. The question is: can they remain focused? 6-4 South Carolina's been a slight letdown this year, but they did expose Ole Miss a few months ago. I think SC gives Florida a run for their money, but the Gators pull one out. Tebow'll get the credit even though the defense will win it.

Florida 16, South Carolina 10



Saturday 7:30 PM
#16 Utah Utes @ #4 TCU Horned Frogs
TCU is legit. And Utah's not bad either. If Texas Christian wins this game, they will be up there as one of the best teams to get screwed by the BCS. Utah's only loss came on the road to Oregon. But I think TCU's speed and superior ability will push them over the top.

TCU 42, Utah 28
